About this map

The Aransas River meanders sharply through the coastal plains of south Texas, forming the prominent loop of Rincon Bend and the northern border with Refugio County. This landscape is defined by the hydrologic relationship between the river and Chiltipin Cr, which drains the central portion of the sheet. The terrain is dotted with several significant water bodies and ranching improvements, including the large catchment of Big Lake and localized water sources such as Palomo Tank and Rincon Tank.

A rigid grid of rural roads, including FM 631 and numerous county routes like Co RD 92 and Co RD 1258, partitions the land for agricultural use. The presence of Tule Lake and the dramatic oxbow at Tule Bend illustrate the dynamic nature of the river system as it approaches the Gulf Coast. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and drainage patterns across the San Patricio and Aransas county lines.
